"I don't normally make comment about it but we need to be make sure that we are a lot better than that or we are going to end up staying in exactly the same place as where we are right now," Maguire said.

"After 20 minutes, it is not acceptable at this club.

"Myself and the players, we need to make sure we are accountable of what was put out there because it was garbage."

Asked to explain the woeful performance, Maguire added: "People just didn't want to put their bodies in front, plain and simple.

"We've got a team there, they commit through the week but they have to commit between the 80 minutes and the boys just didn't do that."

"… We've got to have a good hard look at ourselves," he added.

"The players, myself, all the team, we're all in this together and how we get through this is is that we are going to have to be pretty honest and brutal about what is going on out on the field out there.

"It was pretty simple out there tonight, Wests Tigers just wanted it more."
